Yeah, I forgot all about the atomization thing, but at WOT Warm vs Cold air, I'd assume the Warm Air is always more fuel efficient since at WOT you can't just open the throttle more and therefore you're just making less power.

Anyways, how about adjustments to timing? Anybody have success with that? The car(s) I'm looking at will most likely be a Honda Integra/Civic/Accord or a Geo Metro (3 cylinder). So anyone with those cars, can you pitch in about that?
